This paper presents an analysis, simulation and comparison of the performance of Optical single sideband radio over fiber system based on a dual drive Mach Zehender modulator using 90° and 120° hybrid coupler including the effects of phase noise from RF signal oscillator and laser source, fiber dispersion. Signal to noise ratio (SNR) is significantly influenced by phase noise from RF signal oscillator. On comparison with conventional 90° hybrid coupler system, the performance of the considered system improves by 0.78 dB in terms of SNR, when RF and laser phase noises are increased.
